 |
|
My 601 the standard Matco W80CC-Z wheels, which use a 4.80 x 8 tire.
Earlier on this list, some suggested using a Michelin S-83 scooter tire, but those are 3.5 x 8, which the local tire store says won't fit on the W80CC-Z.
I'm flying my plane down to Mexico in a couple weeks, and want to have the toughest tires possible.
Any recommendations?
Many thanks,
Bob Miller

I've been using the Michlen S-83's for 2 years now with no problems on my HDS. They do fit the rims nicely. I like them better because they were better balanced and they are slightly smaller.

I am glad that this subject came up again. I have had Nanco 4.80 x8 tires on a 601 HDS that I have owned for almost 3 years and 200+ hours. 9 out of 10 of my landings are on grass. Do you think that the Michelin S-83 scooter tire would be good for grass airstrips? Actually, just writing this note is talking me into Nanco, but I am willing to listen to other opinions. Thanks.
Regards,
Damien

Bob,
I have had good look looking for aircraft tires at Desser tire. I don't use the same size as yours, but I suspect they will have what you need.

While we are on the subject: is there a tire with the prescribed dimensions that actually *looks* like an airplane tire?
All I have seen are scooter and trailer tires...?

Hi Bob,
I’ve been flying with The S-83 tires for 8 years now, no problems. They are a better profile for airflow and the size does fit the W80CC-Z wheels just fine.
I keep 25 psi on them and I think they look good and ground handling is excellent. The small footprint doesn’t jerk like fatter tires do on touchdown.
These roll in grass well because of the major diameter. I’ve recommended these for a long time. For toughness, I’d suggest with any tire, put a spare in the wing locker
and place the tools to fix a flat inside the tire in the wing locker.

Hello, Michel
I thought of that, but you wheels/tires are too big...
But thanks for the offer.
Salut
Carlos
